Snow & Ice – be prepared!

Happy New Year!

The gritters have been out and snow is forecast for this weekend and also during the coming week, so please be very careful when out and about.

As we are entering the coldest and most wintry months, please see our website’s Snow & Ice page for locations of grit boxes around the parish, gritting routes and advice on snow and ice clearance, as well as the government’s “Snow Code”.


Our volunteer councillors will endeavour to make sure the pavements in the village are gritted, as well as access to Limpsfield CofE Infants School and to Glebe Meadow.

Take care. ❄️
